“Sharing the Good News”

Today’s reading from Luke 2:15-20 continues the shepherds’ story as they respond to the angelic announcement of Jesus’ birth. Hurrying to Bethlehem, they find Mary, Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger—just as the angel had said. Filled with awe and joy, the shepherds can’t keep the news to themselves. They spread the word, glorifying and praising God for the miracle they’ve witnessed.

The shepherds’ celebration goes beyond simply marveling at the moment; they become witnesses and proclaimers of the good news. Their response challenges us to consider how we can share the miracle of Christmas with others. This season, as we celebrate with lights, songs, and gifts, let’s also follow the shepherds’ example by sharing the hope and love of Jesus.

Who in your life needs to hear about the miracle of Christmas? Pray for boldness and opportunities to share the good news of God’s love through the birth of His Son, Jesus.

From the triumphal entry on Palm Sunday to the quiet hope of Holy Saturday, each episode invites you to encounter the love, humility, and sacrifice of Christ in a fresh way. Whether you’re walking, commuting, or sitting quietly with your morning coffee, let this devotional companion draw you into the deeper meaning of Holy Week and the peace Jesus offers through the cross and resurrection.
